when is Golgi tendon stretched

whenever muscles contract

purpose of Golgi tendon reflex

to prevent tissue disruptionresponds to rapid change in length/tension

16

Osteopathic technique employing rapid, therapeutic force of brief duration that travels short distance within the anatomic ROM of a joint and engages restrictive barrier is

thrust technique

17

HVLA technique

directpassivemove joint in direction of restrictive barrierimmediate restoration in ROM

18

historical perspective HVLA

1970s taught, AT still: lightning bone setter

19

indications for HVLA

somatic dysfunctionrestoration of motion, removal of restrictions

20

verterbral segment

vertebra above and below and disc in between the two

21

accumulation of force at restriction

one force applied to one vertebra other has opposing conterforce to resist inertia of body mass

22

thrust force

applied after the setup is locked against restrictive barrier -if localization not accurately against restrictive barrier, thrust force will dissipate thrgouh other parts of body = increased risk for iatrogenic side effects
